From an email:

“First, last year’s Krampus Pop-Up is BACK this year in our cellar speakeasy, The Side Door. It’s a fun spin on the well-worn holiday pop-up. Everybody knows Santa, who rewards good little children with presents, but have you heard of Santa’s counterpart, Krampus, who punishes the naughty kids?

From an email:

“On December 6th at 5pm bottles of this special single barrel will be available at Cinder (800 Upshur St, NW) and Johnny’s (3226 11th St, NW).
